Python scripts in Zope are restricted for security reasons. You'll need to do your XML processing using External Methods (python scripts, but not subject to the same security restrictions) or Products (python extensions to Zope). When you set up the Python XML tools, remember to install them into the Python you use to run Zope, not elsewhere. You may want to consider using the PyRXP parser from ReportLabs which is fast, stable, and very python friendly. On Wed, 5 Nov 2003, vupt vupt wrote:

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for replying to me.

I checked out the python documentation and I followed up with this good hands on article about parsing XML in Python (http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/383/3)

In the article, they mention one way to parse xml using the sax parser by importing this module: from xml.sax import make_parser

and using this command: parser.parse(open('playerStats.xml'))

But when I try to do this in my zope python script, I get Error Value: import of "xml.sax" is unauthorized

Also I read that the open command is not allowed in zope.

And so I am afraid I am still stick with my original problem: I have an xml document under zope and I would like to parse it and extract its content with a python script. I would like to do this under the context of zope.

I know there is lots of documentation on how to use xml under python. But how do I use read xml under zope? Is it different?

Thanks again for any input

Hi,

I am new to Zope and hope someone can help me with an xml task.

I have created an Xml file using the XMLKit product. Now I would like to create a python script to parse the XML file to get information from it. How do I do this?

If someone can point me to some examples or give some examples of how to do this, I would very appreciate it.

thanks in advance.
